Possible enemies for the Daleks?
« on: April 30, 2015, 01:50:34 PM »
Bit of a random musing. Does anyone have any thoughts on forces that would make good opponents for Daleks? I'm thinking about armies rather than one man with a time machine. They could be from a film, book, miniatures range, computer game etc but from outside the Who canon.
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

In the novel war of the Daleks the  future Thralls  fought them exterminate absorbing  armour and   hard hitting  blast rifles.

I'm thinking of outside the Who canon - a crossover if you want.

Aliens. Everyone's favourite bug. Acid for blood and a generally ever lasting supply of troops.

Terry Nation's original ending for the second series of Blake's Seven was for the Liberator crew to be forced into an alliance with Servalan and the Federation to fight an invasion not by shape-changing aliens from Andromeda, but by Daleks.  So that's a possibility, with lots of nice Crooked Dice minis to use.

Or there's the Bash Street Kids.



But no-one makes minis of the Bash Street Kids, worse luck!

How about Crooked Dice's Federation troopers (not-Blake's 7)?

Or EM4's Spacelords?

or starwars through the rebels and/or the empire against them, from far far away.

Emperor Ming and his minions come to mind to

Canon-wise, they have fought many races, including the Thals, Spiridons (easy to do in miniature as they're invisible!) Cybermen, the Mechanoids the Draconians, Exxilons, and, of course Humans (including resistance fighters when they invaded Earth).

Ah, in that case please disregard! :D

How about Cylons? The new crooked dice not-cylons would be perfect. Or maybe captain scarlet! Or Jerry Cornelius!

My vote is with these guys. They stylistically fit with the daleks but with out being who. Of course I would most likely just use my moderns against them.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
